The Kerrang! Chart: The best new music this week

Every Friday, you get bombarded with new music. To make it easier to get on board with the most killer stuff, we've digested it all, and curated the ultimate weekly chart.

Follow us on Apple Music, and you'll never miss the hottest new tunes. Check out this week's Top 20…

1. Lamb Of God – Sepsis

What a nice surprise to have Lamb Of God casually dropping new music out of nowhere this week. Even better – it's a slow, chugging bulldozer of a tune. Mmmm, powerful. Been a couple of years since the last album, and with their headline gig at next year's Bloodstock locked in, you'd be wise to treat this as the start of a chunky new era. An exciting one, too.

2. Speed – AIN'T MY GAME

The great thing about Speed is that they never don't sound really pissed off. So, AIN'T MY GAME is the Australian hardcore hard-nuts bringing more boiling anger, with the brilliant mosh call, 'Fuck your games, and fuck you, too'. Ironically, all the belligerence just makes you like them all the more.

3. New Found Glory – Laugh It Off

New New Found Glory is always welcome, particularly when it comes with an album announcement (Listen Up!, out in February). But it's especially good to hear guitarist Chad Gilbert riffing it up again, after undergoing cancer treatment. Welcome back, lads, and double welcome back, Chad.
